TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

13o-it known that I, WILLIAM .Fasern-lx Mucuuons, of Astoria, Queenscounty, New York, have invented a new and improved Glue-Cnn; and Idohereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to makeand use the same, reference being hadto the aceonhl panying drawings,forming a part of this specification.

i flhe drawing represents a side elevation, partly in section, of myimproved glue-can. y This invention relates to e. new glue-can forholding prepared glue, as an article 0f manufacture, and for allowing itto be boiled in, when opened.

The invention consists id suspending, from the annular cover of' asheet-metal vessel, a smaller cylindrical or other vessel, which servesto hold the glu-e, while the space around it and under it, formed in theouter vessel, serves as a waterrescrvoir, to allow the boiling of theglue.` The glue is filled into the inner vessel, which is then closed bysoldering or otherwise securely fastening a. cover upon it. In thismanner the apparatus is, with the glue, brought into market, ready to beused in the pot.

A, in the drawing, represents a shcet-1nctal cylindrical or othervessel, from the annular covervB of which anialler sheet-metal vessel,C, is suspended, so that itfdoes not reach the bottom of A, nor thesides of the same. The vessel C is provided with its own separate cover,D, which can, when the glue has been filled into the vessel, be securelyfastened upon the vessel.l 'lhe cover B may either be soldered upon thevessel A, or may rest loosely upon the same, being held to it by meansofv suitable clasps. In the cover B may already be provided, especiallyil` it is soldered upon the can A, a hole, a. vv'hiehpermits theinsertion of water, and which, while the article is in the market,allows the insertion within the vessel of the brush E. The device may beprovided with a suitable bail or handle, F. rlhis invention can also beused for holding other material than gulue.

Having described my invention, I claim as new, and desire to secure byLetters Patent., as anew article of manufacturej A glue-can, consistingof the water-can A, froni the annular cover B of which theglue-reservoir C is suspended, substantially as herein shown anddescribed.
